Default Back in the fold after 17 years

Traded my '91 coupe for a Boxster in 2000, and although the Boxster was a great car, there's just something special about th 964 (to me anyway).

Picked up a '91 Targa on Tuesday and drove it 750 miles home.

Pics to follow

Welcome back. Looking forward to the pictures and hearing more about what drew you back to the 964.

Welcome back. I remember dabbling with the same dark thoughts back then too.

Congrats!!!

I find it interesting. I have a 15 Boxster GTS well setup with sport suspension and the works. It is a blast to drive especially with the top down. I had been driving that car a lot and really enjoy it. It has its moments that I like better than the 964 for convenience.

Recently I started extensively driving my C2 again instead of the GTS and I once again realized that when it comes to pure driving pleasure the C2 can be that much more fun and engaging.

Both cars handle and accelerate in a similar fashion and they both sound great but if I had to let one go it would be the GTS.

750 miles home.... that's the perfect way to get "reacquainted".

Oh i love it! Makes me miss mine--was just like this one! (except for safari ride height!) If the top fits good and isn't too loud or leak, buy a lottery ticket.
